38/44 DOB request *Update with pics*

[VNK971]

I found a 38/44 HD today at the Tulsa Gun Show. I didn't bring my SCSW. The sn is S64552. Pics when I get home. Thanks. Al

Update: Got home an hour ago. All numbers match, except the stocks of course. Cleaning it up now. It has not been reamed for .357, and has the number 109 engraved on the frame. I'll try and get to the range this week.

The Book says 1946-1947.

A Transitional (large extractor rod end, Made in U.S.A. on right frame), correct?

I have a HD approx. 300 digits later than yours and it shipped July '46.

A mid-1946 shipment would be a good approximation.

July 1946 almost 100% sure
